Good Shepherd Kids
At Church of the Good Shepherd we welcome our youngest into the life of our church and seek to introduce them to Jesus, the Good Shepherd, from the earliest age. We believe Jesus when he says we must become like little children and therefore know that children are particularly suited to show us how to live in the Kingdom of God. We seek to welcome our children, encourage their life with God, and protect them from harm.
Good Shepherd Kids and our Little Lambs Nursery
SUMMER SCHEDULE:
Each week we welcome our littlest congregants to Good Shepherd and invite them to fully participate. During the summer, we have formation programming for ages 0-4 at the 9am service ONLY. We do not have children’s formation/childcare at the 11am service. This schedule will take us through July 27. Your child's age on September 1, 2024 will determine where they go.
Little Lambs nursery for 0-1 year olds. Please drop them off in the nursery atrium after checking them in.
Combined atrium- If your child was 2-4 years old on September 1, 2024, they are welcome to join our combined atrium for the summer.
All other children are invited to fully participate in our service and they have a prayer table and Atrium where they can gather during the service to pray, journal, or color in response to God in worship.
